(122F). Add and register a sensor Add your new VC7002 open/closed sensor to your VC7151/VC7152 telephone system. Register each sensor with the telephone base before use. To register a open/closed sensor:
1. Press and hold /FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 4 seconds until the IN USE light turns on. The telephone base shows Registering... Please wait. Press and hold the pair button on the open/closed sensor, until the LED light flashes red, to enter the registration mode. The telephone base shows Open/Closed X*
registered and you hear a beep when the registration process completes. The registration process takes about 90 seconds to complete. 2. Check the sensor before use Test the location for the sensor Mount the sensor Mount the magnet unit
* Open/Closed X refers to the sensors name. X refers to the system-assigned number of the sensor. You can mount the open/closed sensor on a door, window, or medicine cabinet that opens or closes. 1. Take the sensor to the desired mounting location, and hold at the object and its respective frame. 2. Open the door, window, or medicine cabinet and listen for an announcement alert at your handset and telephone base. Use your handset to enter the Settings menu, and then the Sensor setup menu. Follow the steps to test the sensors signal strength. Move the base closer to the garage, or move the sensor closer to the base, if the sensor is out of range. NOTES Use adhesive tape to hold the sensor temporarily whilst testing. Mount the sensor to a higher position to avoid obstacles or blockages. Depending on surroundings and obstructing factors, like walls or cabinets, the sensor may not transmit to the base properly. 1. Separate the sensor unit from the magnet unit. unit. You will hear an announcement alert
- Open/Closed X is open, from the handset and the telephone base. The handset and the telephone base will display Open/Closed X is open, and then The SENSOR light on the telephone base will turn red. 2. Combine the sensor unit with the magnet will disappear from the handset and the telephone base. The SENSOR light on the telephone base will turn off. Alerts Open/Closed X*
is open. Without spacer Mount with sticker 1. Attach the sticker C onto the rectangular area at the rear side of the magnet unit, 2. Stick the magnet unit onto the door. cc With spacer Mount with sticker You can choose one out of the four spacers with suitable height, and then add it to the magnet unit. 1. Push the spacer towards the magnet unit until it securely clicks into place. 2. Attach the sticker C onto the rectangular area at the rear side of the spacer. 3. Stick the magnet unit onto the door. We recommend you to mount the magnet unit on a door, window, or medicine cabinet, and mount the sensor unit on its respective frame. NOTES Make sure the mounting surface is clean. A textured surface or any imperfections to a smooth surface can keep the sticker from making a strong bond. Make sure you align the magnet unit with sensor unit when mounting. The distance between the sensor unit and magnet unit must be less than 1 cm (0.4 inch). The door images in this installation guide are for conceptual reference only.
